My best drag times so far. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I just got back from the Sealy drag strip. Every time I ran my times got better and better. I didn't do anything special setting the car up. 32psi tire pressure 93 octane gas and a oil change of Royal purple the night before. Running Vredestein tires. My friend had a Ford Lightening and my other buddy Terry who owns a corvette performance shop had his 2006 vette with heads and cam. pushing 500rwhp. The ford Lightening couldn't get passed 13.46 (which is damn fast for a truck) But they both kept having to let there cars sit for 30 minutes between runs to let the engine cool down. Man I raced 11 times and 7 of the 11 in a row without stopping. No overheating problems at all. And each run was better than the last. I found where my cars sweet spot was for launching. Right about 4000. My best time was 13.0564 @ 110.32. I was trying to break in to the high 12's and probably would have with better traction but I was pretty happy with that 13.056.

This was my second best run.

And here is me and Terry's 500rwhp vette running against each other and our best times of the day.

My Z ran perfectly. It was all about the driving from there on.
